28 Missing After Massive Landslide in Southwestern China

A landslide in Sichuan Province has buried buildings and farmland, with rescue efforts hampered by harsh conditions and fears of further collapses.

The landslide occurred Saturday near the village of Jinping in Yibin, Sichuan Province, burying ten buildings and farmland under a kilometer-long mass of earth and debris.
Authorities have confirmed one death and two injuries, while 28 people remain missing as rescue operations continue.
Over 360 residents from 95 households have been evacuated to emergency shelters due to the disaster.
Rescue efforts are being hindered by cold weather, slippery roads, and the risk of additional landslides in the area.
Landslides are a recurring hazard in southwestern China, often triggered by heavy rainfall or snow; a similar incident in nearby Yunnan Province last year claimed over 30 lives.
